Collapse ▲In late 2008, I planted a demonstration pollinator garden at Chatham Mills to provide forage from early spring to late fall for pollinators such as honey bees, native bees, butterflies, flower flies, hummingbirds, beetles, and other beneficial insects. The garden features over 225 unique species of perennials, 85% of which are native to North Carolina. The garden is a great teaching tool that I use to conduct workshops and tours for hundreds of folks each year. It has taught me so much and I enjoy sharing this knowledge with others. Below you can see photos of the pollinator garden from mid-May through mid-June. There were over 60 species in bloom in mid-June!

Everyone is loving the ‘Flamethrower’ redbud we planted in the fall of 2021 to replace the dying Japanese Zelkova tree, myself included! I planted some fall blooming Liatris with it plus dwarf indigo bush and the towering rattlesnake master. Photo by Debbie Roos.
